What are Hydraulic Cylinder Seals
Hydraulic Cylinder seals are made for the purpose of sealing the open parts between the Cylinders system which means that they have to mold to the variety of different features hydraulic cylinders have. Hydraulic seals ensure that the cylinder will have a long life, while also running correctly. There are different types of seal depending on the type of surfaces that are included in your hydraulic cylinder. Seals help to prevent hydraulic fluid from mixing with external fluids and prevent other contamination like dirt and debris as well. When resealing a cylinder you need to be sure that you are making the right selection and considering all factors that play into your system.
Considerations for Hydraulic Seals
- Fluid Pressure Range
- range of pressure for the systems fluid, and frequency of the pressure peaks
- Temperature Range
- using both operating and rest temperatures of the fluid and the system
- Speed
- stroking speed of the piston rod
- Fluid Media
- type and viscosity of fluid
- Hardware Dimensions
- rod and bore diameters, dimensions and gaps, length and surface
- Application of the Cylinder
- type of equipment the cylinder will be used on, how it will operate, be installed and what are outside factors that impact the system
